Simple Approach for Tremor Suppression in Electrocardiograms by Ivan Dotsinsky, Georgy Mihov

“…Electrocardiogram recordings are very often contaminated by high-frequency noise usually power-line interference and EMG disturbances (tremor). Filtering out the tremor remains a priori partially successful since it has a relatively wide spectrum, which overlaps the useful ECG frequency band by aperiodic noise. …”
